Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 493(3), 3496–3512. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/staa533http://nur.nu.edu.kz/handle/123456789/6364The convection that takes place in the innermost shells of massive stars plays an important role in the formation of core-collapse supernova explosions. Upon encountering the supernova shock, additional turbulence is generated, amplifying the explosion. In this work, we study how the convective perturbations evolve during the stellar collapse. Our main aim is to establish their physical properties right before they reach the supernova shock. To this end, we solve the linearized hydrodynamics equations perturbed on a stationary background flow. The latter is approximated by the spherical transonic Bondi accretion, while the convective perturbations are modelled as a combination of entropy and vorticity waves. We follow their evolution from large radii, where convective shells are initially located, down to small radii, where they are expected to encounter the accretion shock above the proto-neutron star. Considering typical vorticity perturbations with a Mach number ∼0.1 and entropy perturbations with magnitude ∼0.05kb/baryon, we find that the advection of these perturbations down to the shock generates acoustic waves with a relative amplitude δp/γ p 10 per cent, in agreement with published numerical simulations. The velocity perturbations consist of contributions from acoustic and vorticity waves with values reaching ∼10 per cent of the sound speed ahead of the shock. The perturbation amplitudes decrease with increasing and initial radii of the convective shellsenAttribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 United StatesType of access: Open AccesshydrodynamicsInstabilitiesshock wavesArticle
